Yah. He hangs with Jeeps but did the Squeeze in a group. I would have joined, but had no idea it was going down. That's what happens when I ignore the offroad FB world for too long, and they don't think to post a trail ride plan here.

Bacon is still the first and only TB to come UP through the Squeeze. Don't mention the details about HOW, and he remains unique.

I just loved his little video, so excited so happy, too bad he didn't leave it filming to catch the oh shit moment when he realized he wasn't getting back up it. That would have been awesome.

initially my plan was not to go back up. I had plans of finishing the trail... little did I realize what was right around the bend.

I dont think theres enough memory on anyones camera for that. My oh shit moment lasted about 3 hours. For me,realizing you are actually stuck is the same as realizing you are lost; It's not an "all of the sudden" discovery. The seeds are sown hours prior.

If you have the tools and ablities to get moving again, then I dont consider it stuck. It's a delay. Stuck, for me, is when you have exhausted every tool/method/energy to no avail. Then you have to resort to hiking ~13 miles in the desert at night w/o a firearm, food, or water.

I think you are confusing stuck/not stuck with prepared/unprepared. Stuck is stuck, if you come prepared for getting stuck you are none the less stuck, when you're truck cannot continue on or go back under it's own power it is stuck.

Been thinking about this for a bit. Michael can win the lottery, become an expert welder, fabricate the most fire-breathing rock-crawling buggy in the country, win the King of the Hammers, be on the cover of all the magazines, get a Red Bull endorsement deal.

But to "us", he'll forever and lovingly be the Squeeze Guy. Priceless.

Reminds me of an old joke. (Found this version so I don't have to type in my longer variant. You can imagine this can be embellished and expanded quite a bit with more details.)

Best told after several scotches and with a scottish accent.

So Angus and McTavish are sitting around in the pub. Angus takes a long pull at his drink, looks out the door and says "Angus, you see that bridge out there."

"Aye Angus, I do"

"S'a goood Bridge. Built it with me bare hands I did. But do they call me angus the bridge builder?"

"No angus they don't" he says sympathetically.

"And ya see that roof on the school. S' a good rooooof, took me a month, with me bare hands." He takes a pull again. "But do they call em Angus the Roof Maker?"

I do appreciate the kind words, Aftermarket Running Board Guy.
